★★★★★

I love blending and cooking with this chai. It has a terrific base flavor. It's a bit too much for me by itself, but I still love it because of how blendable it is. Yes, I just made up a new word...:D

If you're into chai, this is a pretty good mix. I'm more of a plain tea guy so I couldn't really get into it.

Chai is wonderful. Spicy without being too over the top, Great as a morning pick-me-up and equally good in the afternoon.

This chai is too clove heavy, can’t taste anything but clove. I really enjoy chai teas and was hoping to like this one. Disappointed. I used one pack stevia in a 12 oz mug.

This is my favorite chai from Adagio. I love a traditional spicy black chai in the morning and this is it.

This is a very nice, quick alternative to a stovetop masala chai. Excellent flavor with sugar and milk. My only complaint is that it can be very clove-heavy. I have to make sure there are no more than 5-6 in my teaspoon otherwise it's too much for me.

Tried it as a sample, but went by directions and it seemed a bit weak. Tired the rest with a double steep time, and OMG delicious. It's now my staple Chai.

Great black tea with a warm selection of spices. The cloves can be a bit numbing and the cardamom aromatic.

It’s sure a masala chai! I don’t have much to say beyond that; if you like masala chai you’ll like this. I give it four stars simply because I couldn’t taste quite as much of the tea or cinnamon as I personally prefer, but I suspect most people will like this fine.

This is a very good cup of tea! Not overly spicy but still flavorful. I definitely recommend this blend!

A nice blend of spices that produce a traditional Indian Chai. Just add warm milk and sweetener, or black for more robust taste

This is hands down my favorite chai. I've served it to friends and every one takes a photo of the bag so they can run home and order some!

This chai has a good mix of spices that give it a nice, robust flavor. I was pleasantly surprised as I have found many blends to be weak in flavor and I had taken to mixing my own. I won't have to do that now that I've found this tea.

★★★☆☆

A nice flavor I must say! Rich and intricate. However personally not my favorite type of chai. Was missing some of that peppery smoothness of other blends. This one is heavy on the clove and ginger, so if those are your favorite flavors, give it a go!

★★★★★

Got it for a friend who's a lover of masala teas. Heard no complaints from her yet, so I suppose she liked it! Thanks, Adagio!

If I’m not going to have an authentic chai experience, this is my go-to for chai! I add a splash of Somrus Chai liqueur on chilly autumn nights.

This was a wonderful afternoon delight. Perfect on the rainy day while reading. I did add a little pumpkin spice to the tea as it was simmering. It reminds me of a trip to India where I was first introduced to Masala Chai.

This is a good masala chai. Spice flavors are strong and clear without being too overwhelming toward one particular spice. I like my masala chai hot spicy (as in pepper/ginger hot) and this one meets that need. The pieces in the mix are not too fine, so there's no 'grainy' feeling in the mouth after drinking. Overall a very good masala chai!

I absolutely love this tea! It is my favorite tea in the colder months because the spices are warm and fragrant. My kids love this tea with milk and honey. You can't go wrong with this one!

I mixed this with Raja Oolong Chai and Samurai Mate and its AMAZING! I was trying to find a similar match to a teavana blend that I loved so much. This is pretty close!

I love chai teas, especially during the winter and fall. I enjoy this tea with a small amount of local raw honey and a small bit of milk, but it’s delicious without anything added as well. It’s one tea I always keep stocked.

I am a big chai fan and this one doesn't disappoint. The flavor of cinnamon and clove come through beautifully. I add a splash of cream for a drink that is perfect on a crisp, cool autumn morning.

Since the recent tea shop closing in our neighborhood my wife no longer had access to her favorite tea. I took the chance on ordering it from Adagio and she loves it and it is at a great price. Score one for me too.

Fantastic Chai, my go to for the morning. My favorite Chai from Adogio. Pretty high caffeine content and is a great substitute for coffee.

Not my favorite chai by a long shot. Way too much clove for my taste, but if loads of clove is your jam, check it out.

★★★★☆

Probably my favorite chai. I used to like Raja Oolong best, but over time the fiery cinnamon flavoring wore thin for my taste buds. And Masala can be more readily varied I think. And yes, I typically steep for 5 minutes only.

A wonderful warm chai, great alone hot or as a latte.
I also enjoy it as an iced tea. It's not overly heavy or bitter, truly delightful.

Chai is my absolute favorite tea blend, and this one is fantastic. Quite spicy and toasty with a lot of caramel-like undertones

I love the masala chai tea! Its flavor is very nice to my tastebuds and the spices mix well together and it isn't overpowering on any one spice. I tend to steep it for 12 minutes (2 more than the recommended) to get maximum flavor.

This tea surprises me each time I drink it. It has different flavor profiles depending on the day. I'm going to enjoy this one for a long time to come.

I mix this with Samurai Mate and Raja Oolong Chai (as well as the rock sugar) as a replacement for the former Samurai/Maharaja chai. All together they have a great spice and flavor, but I double the scoops because I like my teas *strong*. My coworkers love the aroma it gives off as well which is a great plus :)

Delicious! I had never really had chai before and was somewhat skeptical of this blend, not really being familiar with this combination of spices, but luckily it was provided to me through a free sample and I loved it. It made my home smell quite nice and reminded me much of gingerbread... and now I'm finally getting myself some more <'3

Does anyone have a suggestion for chai that doesn’t have so much clove?

I go back and forth between this and the Thai Chai, and I love them both, depending on my mood at the time.

This tea is smooth and spicy and tastes great with some oat milk. The cloves are a bit overpowering, but if you like cloves, you'll surely enjoy this tea!

This one was just a bit too much for he.. very flavorful .. just not my personal cup of tea but if you love chai. It’s a winner

A pleasant masala chai blend. Go for a full 5 minutes if you want to get the most spice flavor, or cut it down to 3 if you just want a hint of the spices.

Strong classic Chai tea. Clove and pepper flavors really come through. This tea is also nice to blend with other teas that need a bit of a kick of extra flavor. My favorite is to blend 3 t Thai Chai blend with 1t Masala Chai per one quart of tea. Add some rock sugar and oat milk for a lovely latte. Dessert in a cup!

Another great chai tea. I love the flavor. I am a fan of the Raja Oolong Chai and I would definitely recommend this tea also.
